you might find it very useful one day.
i know that it's going to help me out a lot this winter.
Walk Like a Penguin
Gotta cross an icy parking lot to get to your car? Try the technique recommended by the U.S. Army: Bend your knees a little, point your toes out slightly, and extend your arms out to your sides - then take very short steps or walk with a flat-footed shuffle, keeping your centre of gravity over your feet (not leaning in any direction.)

I can just see you now. Try doing it with a straight face and without saying "arp, arp" (isn't that what penguins say?) Let me know how that works for you. You're welcome. ;-) |

Penguins also slide down slopes on their naked bellies. Should I be doing that as well? ;-)
Steve:
That could come under Clippy's useful tips Number 2. :-)
I thought people only walked like that when they'd cacked their pants! Will keep it in mind though, ta very much.
Clippy! Are you making fun of me?! I walk like that all the time. ;-)
Oh my. Perhaps I should walk like this on the beach?
Thanks for always giving Clippy...you are making the world a better place; One funny walker at a time.
Trish:
Don't forget now. And if you ever have a cack accident keep it in mind. I aim to be helpful. :-)
Cheech: Naturally I thought of you when I wrote this post. ;-)
Suz: My work is not in vain. :-)
I know people who walk like this....without snow.
I once went to nightclub at which the dare amongst my friends was to pick a really attractive girl (or boy for the lasses).... then dance like a farmer!
this will definitely be me- especially this year. I absolutely dread the ice and snow
I should have read this, this morning, before I slipped on my backside while carrying the ashes from the fire down the hill!!!
